After reading ‘Careless People’ it was clear that they don’t have any moral compass.

Remember how Mark was caught on hot mic saying ‘I wasn’t sure what number you wanted, Mr. President’ after lying about it on camera[0]

>massive abuses in the H-1B program

What does making social media profile public have to do with reducing abuse ?

By this logic there’s lot of abuse in businesses, let’s require every executives social media public. There’s lots of abuses in government … etc


The classic Dunning–Kruger effect

It’s always the people with no experience in a domain thinking any profession can be automated away except theirs.


I’m a pilot though, so fairly familiar with how ATC works.

In many places most day-to-day atc operations are already automated and the work is largely data-entry/answering service on the radio. We’re starting to get to the point where speech recognition is better than humans, so it would be perfectly fine to have humans communicate routine atc stuff with a robot.

Of course we’ll need humans available to react to emergencies.


All the people gloating about more domestic jobs forgot that corporations are now outsourcing more than ever. It’s a lose lose for employees.

Further action needs to be taken against that. Personally I think offshoring is a far worse problem for workers than H1-Bs, but a harder one to solve.

H1-Bs should be limited to people significantly better than average, and some innovative regulation needs to be concocted to discourage and punish offshoring.


"Personally I think offshoring is a far worse problem for workers than H1-Bs".

Yes, it's complicated. Arguably, when foreigners buy American made software eg, Microsoft products, they are offshoring software development to America.

So... if you start limiting software "imports" aka offshoring, other countries will do the same. So Microsoft will sell a lot less.


> So... if you start limiting software "imports" aka offshoring, other countries will do the same. So Microsoft will sell a lot less.

1. You don't really have to target software "imports," especially since software is only part of the offshoring problem. It makes more sense to go directly after certain kinds of employment and labor contracting agreements.

2. Also, you really only have to target India and you solve most of the problem.


Whenever you see media replace it with social media and it will get to the root of the issue.

So if you hear Main Stream Media is a problem then you know Main Steam Social Media is much worse.


I've been using Big Social as the lingua franca, liken it to Big Oil and similar


It doesn’t even look like a photo op. It’s literally just gotcha photo and made up story


A gotcha photo? He posted it himself..


This candid photo literally says the opposite. Best case scenario they shook hands and his team just sneaked a photo.

But was it worth it? To burn all good will any upside to generating controversy?


This will be worst for consumers, like DoorDash or Uber eats.

DoorDash takes 15-30% of fees from restaurants so restaurants raise their prices and consumers have to pay service fee and a delivery fee and tip.

Be ready to pay more at sites that have this enabled.


This all true for Twitter ? Plus one giant egomaniac who will silence anyone he wants.


> I don't understand how Bluesky is going going to continue to exist past 2026, based on the sharply declining usage, their headcount, and the amount of funding they've taken.

Do you have any data to back this up?

Also famously twitter is losing value and advertisers and users still it’s not stopped twitter from existing

Regarding engagement doesn’t twitter have lot more low quality engagement vs Bkuesky


I wouldn't invest in Twitter either!


People are overlooking the fact that Twitter’s situation wasn’t exactly great even before it was taken private.

If it's in a stronger financial position today, it's almost entirely because of the merger with xAI.
